The apache conf is in a public git repo. (not getting the URL for you atm
because I'm writing from a phone. should be operations/apache-config in
gerrit)

Yeah, it's in that repo and I found the changeset, but there's no explanation or
bug #, just a comment "Special:ShortURL redirect RT-2121". The
Extension:ShortUrl is not enabled on those servers, so I still expect a 404. Hmmm. No
biggie, but it seems an undocumented anomaly. Perhaps leftover crud?

It's redirected to index.php where PathRouter is supposed to take over
which Ext:ShortUrl hooks into.
If ShortUrl isn't present then MediaWiki's normal handling of urls will
continue.
MediaWiki doesn't have native 404 handling and any unknown URL is
considered to be the main page.
Never finished the changeset fixing that (implementing native 404 handling).
